"Bonus bonus chatter: The xor trick doesn’t work for Itanium because mathematical operations don’t reset the NaT bit. Fortunately, Itanium also has a dedicated zero register, so you don’t need this trick. You can just move zero into your desired destination."

Will remember for the next time I write asm for Itanium!
